Hello dear
I understand your concern
Your symptoms could be due to diabetes melitus/insipidus.
I would suggest to undergo blood tests like fasting blood sugar, post parandial blood sugar, urine physical examination, urine osmolarity, specific gravity.
If all tests will come normal then nothing to worry.
You can take following medicine for headache
Ibuprufen 500 mg three times a day for 3-4 days.
If problem persists then consult internal medicine specialist for clinical evaluation.
Avoid stress, eat healthy diet, do regular exercise
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
